The Environmental Protection Agency has awarded the city of Wichita a $191 million loan to improve the quality of treated sewage the city discharges into the Arkansas River, a major tributary of the Mississippi River. The federal WIFIA loan covers up to 49% of the cost of the project, putting the estimated total cost at or above $391 million. The low-interest loan is expected to save the city $89 million compared to what it would cost without federal assistance.
